our best 60' was a 1.40 wich we are prety happy with. we have room for tires that are about 1.5" bigger than what we have now.

we are running hp motorsports lower and upper control arms in the rear and a air bag on the pasenger side and that is it so far.

WOW, that little thing is SCOOTIN. By stock 5.3 you mean stock bottom end too? If so, I know what I'm doing as my next setup, LOL.

How you liking that MP70 turbo? Alot of local dsm'ers are using it trapping 130's with ease...great turbos for a great price.

so far so good. we were starting to get some smoke out of it but put a restrictor in the oil line and it cleared right up. we have about 60 dyno pulls on it and about 20runs down the track along with a little street time.
